Hi all, congrats on getting through tonight and back where you belong. Just on here to say how great it was to see the solidarity banner on show at Celtic Park tonight and how great you celts have been in the battle of getting justice for the 96 and us LFC fans really appreciate the way you've been throughout, good luck in the groups. YNWA.

Smithy {Ed007's Note - Cheers Smithy, nice to hear from you. Hope you are doing well and your exams went the way you wanted.}
Went really well Ed thanks, I got 3A*'s, 4A's and 2B's. Henriksen is off to AZ isn't he? Thats a shame. He would have been great for you. Still delighted over us getting Sahin, he's class.
JFT96
Smithy {Ed007's Note - Congratulations Smithy (swat alert lol) I'm a bit disappointed with the Henriksen thing TBH, we had agreed to the fee ages ago but stalled and stalled with moving on with the deal. If Sahin can get back to the player he was at Dortmund, I seen quite a bit of him when he was there, you will be delighted with him.}
Well done Smithy la!Hope you move on from those.Good luck............green jhedi

good performance by the lads. didn't really have to get out of the low gears over both legs to chalk up a 4-0 aggregate score. just read rhodes is having a medical at blackburn. 4.5m initially potentially rising to 8m. well out of our price range so we can finally put that one to bed. need a few players in for the group stage to have any impact but we've already hit our target for the season when it comes to europe. Nice to see big Wilson has finally decided he is up for the fight at least, long overdue. All in all a good nights work. Hail Hail.

Atmosphere tonight was absolutely incredible my ears are ringing! The bhoys were fantastic cant wait for the champions league! Hope we get Elgin.....oh that's who they are playing...I mean Barcelona!!
29 Aug 2012 23:10:39
Absolutely SUPERB !! :-)
Atmosphere was crackin. Kelvin Wilson.. best game in the hoops. Not bothered who we get in the group stages, bring it on. Mrs E

Hopefully Wilson will take some confidence from last night & build on it. Time will tell ~ Mrs E

Congratulations on qualifying for the CL bhoys and ghirls.
Scottish football needs a wee boost right now.
Good luck.

Pob . i always thought you were half way decent and just on the wind up the same way as i do bear baiting on the darkside. thanks for the sentiments.. shamrock
Well said POB. I enjoy reading your banter but at least you are a football fan .
29 Aug 2012 22:39:26
Awright Ed -: Fantastic result tonight. Neil Lennon has now put himself up there with the greats, he has spoken about the players enhancing their reputations, what about Neil as a manager? I hope he gets the recognition he deserves. His style as a manager I would like to think there is a good mix in there Clough, O'Neill = Neil Lennon. Anyway now we have our 15m. Who can we expect to sign on Friday? Any inside info? Cheers. Ian L {Ed007's Note - Sorry Ian, I've got nothing new.}

congrats celtic on getting into the champions league. Hopefully celtic can buy a couple of quality players to help you in the group stages

29 Aug 2012 22:21:05
Hope that performance gives big kelvin the confidence to be that dominating hard defender we need..full team done great tonite hh...ticbhoy
Wee Hugh keevans can eat his words. Said Celtic would ship goals if he played with Charlie.
Does Keevans ever get anything right ... TTTS
I'm guessing he wasn't in the stadium.
29 Aug 2012 22:20:24
into group stages lets hope pl gets chequebook out
29 Aug 2012 22:19:43
great perfomance tonight. wilson was superb, wanyama was excellent and i thought brown drove the team on despite not being 100% fit. james forrest is a gem of a player and tony watt reminds me so much of wayne rooney when he burst onto the scene, that i'm sure we've got a player and a half there. i really think we have a chance of a succesful cl campaign. with a few new bodies (centre-half, target man and a creative midfielder) this squad could be as strong as we've had for many a long year. the youth set-up is obviously producing the goods (forrest, mulgrew, watt, the twardzick brothers, mcgeough - and a few others bubbling under quite nicely), peter lawell and the board are doing a WONDERFUL job, and in neil lennon we have a thoughtful, articulate, tactically sound manager. its seems to me that his man management skills are spot on and he understands how prestigous a job he is doing. so, we wait with bated breath for the cl draw tomorrow and the flurry of transfer activity we all hope will be taking place over the next few days. so my question to all the bhoys and ghirls out there is who would you like to see brought in before the deadline? hail hail, and i'll see you all at the party we'll be having in the champions league!
joe mccormack
Joe, 100% agree with your thoughts on Tony Watt, I see a young Rooney in him also. I remember seeing Rooney's first games at Everton and Tony is showing the exact same class. He will go far.

29 Aug 2012 22:13:46
Thought kelvin Wilson was superb tonight, just what we were looking for. Keep it up big man
Knew that Wilson would show his true abilities. Keep it up son. JK
29 Aug 2012 22:10:10
come on where are all the people that wanted big sammy to go? Thats why NL is the manager and not anyone els. I always thought sammy was quality but not consistent enough but he has stepped it right up and deserves every bit of praise he gets and more. I also thought willson was fantastic tonight along with jamsie n commons.
PS. all the people who have been slagging off hooper lately are yous blind? do yous not see how much work and effort he puts in when tracking back to his own half just to keep the play moving.
Murphy Bhoy
Hooper was absolute mince tonight was hiding the whole game only got his goal because he got caught out by the linesman other than that would even know he was on the park
Tbh i thought commons was quite poor tonight. scottybhoy
Hooper was absolute mince? are you for real? granted he wasnt pele but mince????? your a hard person to please
Big Sammy wasnt great for us as a cf. he's been outstanding since his switch to left wing. That's the difference. Kelvin Wilson was outstanding. I thought big Victor was having a so so game until his goal. Commons and hooper have played better. Charlie M put in a good solid shift. Forrest played well, green brigade outstanding. We're doing the huddle in the CL.
Imo young watt looked as thou he wanted to get involved in the game apart from the goal name one talking point about hooper ??
29 Aug 2012 21:57:00
jordan rhodes having a medical at blackburn tommorro so celtic have changed there target to connor salmon. i met him at my local swimming pool where i got his autograph and told me he was going to celtic in exange for charlie mulgrew and paddy mccourt {Ed007's Note - LMFAO.}
I saw a Salmon swimming against the rapids at the time capsule but he couldney play fitba'
Is that the same connor sammon who signed for derby last week?
Get a fckn grip.
Hail hail
Marco1888
Ed why did you even post that lol {Ed007's Note - That's why it is in banter Marco. Sometimes as I wade through all the sh1te something brings a smile to my face, that's me smiled enough for this year.}
Get back on the medication son
29 Aug 2012 21:27:00
If Forrest continues his form in this tournament then he could be the next big transfer out. Looks a cracking player at this level.
No failures tonight. Wanyama immense. Even Wilson played well.Watt looks hungry for goals. Fantastic performance by Celtic!
Liah Smit.
29 Aug 2012 20:43:54
Not usually a fan but sammi has been awesome. Looks as though Lennon has found a way we can play in Europe. Is he the special one?? GBNL
29 Aug 2012 20:41:30
The numpties on Al Jazeera (sorry Hartson, your a person too) are saying if helsingborgs score 3, we go through on away goals, cos we've got 2. Eh? I think 3 is more than 2, can you clear that up for me Ed? {Ed007's Note - Yep, 3 is definitely more than 2.}
The first celtic goal was meaningless, regarding away goals. if helsingborgs scored 3 they would be in the lead whether celtic had scored or not. it gets weird sometimes. liverpool were the masters of manipulating the away goal system.
No in ma hoose its no big jons rite
29 Aug 2012 20:41:09
big sami is playing the game of his life 2nyt ,well done big man,only wish he could do it on a regular basis. scottybhoy
Newsflash, Sammy is doing it on a regular basis,getting better and better

How soon should we expect signings
29 Aug 2012 19:16:40
Difficult game tonight don't count your chickens!!!!!
Helinsborg played well last week and we got lucky.
This will be a tight game so I would not even think about the CL
29 Aug 2012 16:41:14
larsson is at the game tonight last time he was at paradise we won 9-0 al take that again. cmon you bhoys in green
Got my scarf and I'm off totge game. Got butterflies, canna wait to get there. Fellow Celts will know that CL feeling.
For the Ger supporters on here, remember that Ramsdens Cup game.....lol

You have to laugh at some bookies who are offering the following odds on 1st scorer.
Anthony Stokes 9/2- He's injured FFS
MO Bangura 6/1 - He doesnt even play for us and even if he did he wouldnt have a 60/1 chance of scoring.
Finally Charle Mulgrew 14/1 - I'll have a tenner on that please.
29 Aug 2012 16:17:56
My Celtic Starting XI for Helsingborgs
Forster

dont know why celtic dont put in a bit for becchio from leeds hes been on great form for leeds for a few seasons now. Antony.
29 Aug 2012 14:51:14
I am quite disappointed with Henrickson choosing az is that maybe pl fault leaving our interest too late? He's only 20 and an internationalist with plenty of promise!
We really do need a cm playmaker or Europe! The boy should have been signed by now to replace ki as his fee was already agreed let's hope nl has some 1 else in mind but that's a severe kick in the nuts.
Sos bhoy
Why is it always peter lawwells fault if a signing target signs for another team ,no one knows what goes on regarding transfer targets only newspaper talk and rumours, until celtic confirm that they are interested in a player will i believe it. and who can blame henricksen for signing for a team in a superior league to ours.
Do we really need another central midfielder? especialy after Twadzik performance on Saturday. Think money needs spent in other areas.
29 Aug 2012 14:06:52
It seems that AZ Alkmaar signs Henriksen...Any chance of getting Russell or Rhodes?
Hail hail from Madrid
Alv
29 Aug 2012 12:56:38
Looks like we've missed out on Henriksen, he's left Rosenborg to sign for AZ Alkmaar
29 Aug 2012 12:44:07
Seems we missed out here... pity!
Rosenborg agree transfer of Markus Henriksen.

I watched the boy a few times and to be honest he was not the stand out i was looking for.Never dominated any of the games i saw,never scored,and generally was just okay. Over £2 million for maybe no better than what we got at youth level?..............green jhedi
We were linked with this guy (and others) for months and as usual peed about and leaked interest to press and miss out.
Is this a ploy to make us think the club are going for players they have no intent on signing?
If not, why do we perennially hesitate and fail to simply identify one or two targets and JUST GO FOR THEM?
Sorry; frustration setting in yet again.

29 Aug 2012 12:42:18
Does anyone know how many tickets are left and the expected attendance tonight ? .HailHail
Over 56000 at last count
29 Aug 2012 13:08:46
Henriksen has signed for AZ Alkmaar. Bit gutted but hopefully young Twardzik can step up and play an important role this season.
TheBhoyLee
29 Aug 2012 13:07:57
Markus Henrikson. gone elsewhere Signed for AZ, shocking by Celtic and the board if he was one of our main targets,
I have a feeling we are going to get some epl dud and some championship diddy
john88
Couldn't agree more typical of celtic these days every transfer window the same we wait till the last minute and sign some over rated epl dud who's passed it.
davie
Didn't want him anyway.henke7
' every transfer window the same we wait till the last minute and sign some over rated epl dud who's passed it.'
i'm just trying to work out who you are referring to. henriksen chose to go to a club with a ground that holds 17000. maybe that says all you need to know. look, you could have been watching the league cup results tonight hoping spl clubs get beat, if we had a profligate management, how would you like them apples ?
yorkiebhoy.
29 Aug 2012 13:05:16
rogne a doubt for tonight, a website. shamrock
29 Aug 2012 13:00:55
Missed out on henricksen (spelling)if we were ever serious about him? He's having a medical at AZ Alkmaar
29 Aug 2012 11:11:55
mulgrew free kick,celtic 3-0,mon the hoops bri67
63,000
Helsingborg stage fright.
Celtic 5-0 aggreg.
Last time I was right about commons and sammi...so this time I feel hopper well get us 2 and look for Forrest to take the game to them and wanyama adding one in and having his way in mid. 3+ goals in us tonight....let's go bhoys! C-Bhoy.
29 Aug 2012 10:07:38
Not a rumour but the players I would like Celtic to sign in the SPL are as follows:
Johnny Russell no more than 1.5m + a sell on fee
Gary Macky Steven no more than 1.5m + a sell on fee
Gunning (also UTD) no more than .75m
Daly (also UTD) no more than 1m
Chris Humphrey as per rumour
Jamie Murphy no more than 1.5m + sell on fee
Zaluskas no more than 1m
Outside the SPL
We need to sign a top player from Asia, preferably a striker this is for sale value in the continent as before.
Danny Wilson c/half
We need a no nonsense experienced c/half
Target man / no nonsense centre forward
However I believe in the relationship between Neil Lennon and John Park.
Buy half the Dundee utd team and an Ex Ger. Who cant get a game anywhere. Are you on drugs?
Joeshmo1888
So you want a whole new squad of players ffs
If we sign these players there will be nobody left to play........DH
Why dont ye just support dundee utd m8 lol russell n mackay steven a agree but russell wil be the 1 we would go for wilson nae chance and as for zaliukas the guys a total bomb scare a wouldnt pay a quid for him
gunniebhoy
Are we the Dundee utd. Allstars ?
JD
29 Aug 2012 09:42:55
Thk we could put four or five past this team tonite, my team would be Forster, Izaaguiiree, Rogne, Blackman, McCourt, Commons, Kayal, Watt, Twadzik, hooper, Rasmussen wat use thk reckon thts a cracking team, any news on Russell sami1888
Yeah very good since Kayal is injured and Rasmussen was sold.
MgC
Rasmussen has been sold
Morten Rasmussen now plays for FC Midtjylland, signed a 4 year contract. I do think we will progress tonight, I think we should stick with the same team we had against Cali, Tony Watt will score tonight I have put a fiver on it....:)
Don't think your a Celtic fan. Kayal is injured and Rasmussen left Celtic to sign for another team
Rasmussen isn't even at Parkhead anymore
Samson
I'll have some of what your on....a back 3 of Izzy, Rogne and Blackman lol no Mulgrew, Wanyama or Forrest and 3 strikers. Aye cracking
Mikey Bhoy
29 Aug 2012 09:01:04
Celtic in for Chris Humphrey from Motherwell for 200k.Would rather get Jamie Murphy.Gbhoy
I would choose Humphrey over Murphy anyday, Yes Murphy chips in with a few goals, but often drifts out of games, and really does not have the strength, Humphrey, offers the speed that we lack at present. Put Humphrey into our line up and his ability to get to the byline, would pay off. We have the strikers to finnish it off, where as Motherwell have Hidgon... say no more.
No official bid made, mccall a website.. shamrock
Wouldn't take either both are pi** and wouldn't be regulars just more money wasted on bench warmers instead of buying guys like this we should give some of our younger players a chance.
Always liked the look of humphrey tbh. can only get better with us and pretty smart bit of buisness, look at what aluko did with better players around him, mince at aberdeen but arguably rangers best player last season..........bhoywonder
Murphy of motherwell is a rangers man through and through dont want anyone with them at heart wearing the hoops
29 Aug 2012 08:36:34
Just seen in the daily record that Lennon is interested in Chris Humphry for £200,000. Would you take him?
Yes i would take him, Jamaican International, cheap as chips. You cant buy pace.
I thought Murphy was a better option?
Smart move.
Motherwell second last year, identify they're best guys and poach them. Bring them on, sell them higher.
29 Aug 2012 03:28:30
My team for Wed if brown, sami, rogne and commons not playing.
Forster
Matthews, Mulgrew, Wilson , Izzy,
Forest, Kayal, Wanyama, Ledley,
Hooper, Watt,
Bit dodgy but if sami and commons are out who else will play ?
Ledley and kayal are both out injured, it is more likely that brown, rogne and commons will play but i would be happy to see watt and twardzik start after doing so well at the weekend.
scotty bhoy
Kayal and Ledley are both out injured.
Kayal is out injured. johnbhoy79
Sorry Kayal and Ledley are injured. johnbhoy79
Kayal is injured

what do you guys think of wanyama?
He's not for sale. Push off.
